Hi,
I'm trying to typeset a parallel text that should appear in columns. The
sources are XML, and there I have to use tables for this. So, I thought
the easiest way is to use extreme tables for this:
=========================
\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth}
\startxtable[split=yes,frame=off]
\startxrow
\startxcell Text \stopxcell
\startxcell Übersetzung \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell \input ward \stopxcell
\startxcell \input tufte \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stoptext
=========================
However, as it turns out, split only seems to mean that the table is
split between rows, individual rows stay on the same page.
Is there a better approach? I've found the page-streams, but that seems
to be too much...
Best,
Denis
